Amazing Matka Canyon in Macedonia

Amazing Matka Canyon in Macedonia Matka Canyon In Macedonia (places to see)

Near Skopje, the capital of Macedonia, there is a picturesque Matka Canyon. Huge Treska River, which two storage reservoirs are made of, thus this place is called the Matka Lake.

skopje canyon-1We travelled not by the tour itinerary, i.e. from the other side. We drove through the mountain crossings and watched extraordinary views. We have already seen a bunch of mountain arrays: in Montenegro, Croatia, Albania, and other countries. But every land strikes us with its unique beauty. How many mountains would we have seen, we still freeze in order to plunge into contemplation of inspiration.

You can go for kayaking in the lake but on the other side, where tourists go. So would you be in Skopje, make sure you go to the Matka Lake – this place is worth your attention.
